Cinders of a Lord

Gained from defeating one of the four Lords of Cinder that are required to beat the game. These items must be placed at each of the thrones of the lords in order to unlock the last area leading to the ending of the game.

"Cinders of a lord left by the Abyss Watchers. If the lords will not return to their thrones themselves, let them return as cinders. The Watchers of the Abyss swore upon their shared wolf's blood, which also served as their mandate as lords."

"Cinders of a lord left by Aldrich, Devourer of Gods. If the lords will not return to their thrones themselves, let them return as cinders. Aldrich became a lord by devouring men, but was disillusioned with his throne, and so took to devouring gods instead."

"Cinders of a lord left by Yhorm the Giant. If the lords will not return to their thrones themselves, let them return as cinders. Lonely Yhorm became a Lord of Cinder to put the Profaned Flame to rest, knowing full well that those who spoke of him as lord were quite insincere."

"Cinders of a lord left by Prince Lothric. If the lords will not return to their thrones themselves, let them return as cinders. The Lothric bloodline was obsessed with creating a worthy heir, and when this proved impossible, resorted to unspeakable means. Suffice it to say, the path to linking the fire is a cursed one indeed."
